HOLY SHIT, THE NEW SLAYER SONG RULES

Thursday, October 30th, 2008 at 10:04am by Axl Rosenberg

FUCK THIS FUCKING WEEK. Every fucking thing about this fucking week fucking sucks, and I’d say it can’t fucking end soon e-fucking-nough, but Friday is Halloween, and if you’ve ever lived in New York Fucking City, you know that New York on Halloween fucking sucks, because you can’t cross Sixth Fucking Avenue because of the fucking parade, and even if you could, you wouldn’t even fucking want to, BECAUSE OF THE FUCKING PARADE.

So, I repeat: FUCK THIS FUCKING WEEK.

Here’s the bright spot in this shitty fucking no good piece of shit fucking week: Blabbermouth posted a leak of a new Slayer song (below), “Psychopathy Red.” And it’s fucking AWESOME. It’s just sounds so evil and so angry and so fast and it has such a good solid fucking riff, it just makes me want to kill every fucking thing in the entire fucking world stone fucking dead. Rarely in life are things truly a black and white issue, but this is a black and fucking white issue. Seriously. Fuck anyone who doesn’t like this song.

And fuck anyone who doesn’t get excited watching these clips of the band in the studio:


Also, MORE OF YOU NEED TO ENTER THE FUCKING SLAYER FUCKING OLYMPICS. We’re choosing winners next week and for fuck’s sake, it’s an autographed copy of an awesome fucking book about an awesome fucking album, and DX Ferris is gonna write your name in it and fucking everything. Eighteen gajillion of you enter unreadable fucking band logo to win a free copy of a CD every week, so I know you like contests, and you read this site, so I know you like to read. SO JUST THINK ABOUT THIS AS ENTERING A CONTEST TO READ ABOUT A CD AND ENTER SAID CONTEST RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

    fuck yeah! Slayer!

  2. Tommy Leebowitz says:

    After all these years, those dudes still have it.

  3. jonowev says:

    I got the free download card when I saw Slayer on Tuesday night, although I havent downloaded the track yet. Better get to it I guess!

  4. Eric says:

    Sounds…like Slayer. I’m going to have to go with neutral on this one.

  5. gnarlk says:

    did i actually hear bass in that track?

  6. seveword says:

    FUCK YEAH!!!!
    SSSSLLLLAAAAAAAYYYYEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!

  7. BlestTilDeth says:

    The best 2.5 minutes of my life. Like when I lost my virginity. Fast, short and bloody!

  8. Eric says:

    I take that back. Upon actually paying more attention to the song, it does indeed rock.

  9. seveword says:

    Also, Kerry King is the only person in the world who can get away with wearing shades in a recording studio and not be a complete tool.

  10. Kevin says:

    Wow…..Slayer is Back
    And they brought a good song with them.

  11. JR says:

    This song is awesome. Looking forward to hearing the new record.

  12. m4tt says:

    @seveword: Make no mistake, Kerry King is a gigantic tool. But the song is pretty great. Luckily, the two aren’t mutually exclusive.

  13. Jason says:

    Hanneman penned that tune IIRC. That dude writes waaaay better material than KK IMO.

  14. Jesse says:

    Very nice guitar.. other than that damn “Slayer Riff” popping up again.

    It’s so damn hard for me to get over the awful vocals. I don’t see how people can talk so much shit about James Hetfield and then praise Tom Araya. I guess it’s the more chaotic feel to his performance live and on disc that attracts people.

    Slayer has an insane following that makes for a great fucking live show though. So I have to give them that. I’d never in my life seen a mosh pit start during intermission music video until I saw them.

  15. DBR says:

    My friends and I still lean out of cars and yell “SLAAAAYYYEEEERRR!” at pedestrians no matter what band we’re listening to. Song is cool, yo.

  16. Dan says:

    Same ole Same ole. Nice riff, nice song to headbang too but its Status Quo. this band does the same thing over and over and over and over. Bleh

  17. Vikingfromhell890 says:

    I’ve listened to the new song SEVERAL times, and it still kicks ass. Hopefully Jeff is writting most of the cd this time around.

  18. Danny says:

    This song rules. It gives me that involuntary reflex of drawing my hand into a fist.

  19. Ken M says:

    the song does indeed melt faces but why can’t Tom go back to singing like on South Of Heaven and Seasons?

    oh and by the way

    CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS NOW.

  20. Kye says:

    Short, sweet, and fast

    Just the way Slayer should be

  21. rd5 says:

    That rollin’ bass line in the middle is killer!

  22. Sammy says:

    Trademark great info riff: check!
    Araya actually changing his vocal style to chaotic: check check!
    Abrupt ending: check!
    Really atonal, out of place, see-how-fast-I-play stupid solo: sigh.

  23. The Mighty Fucking Quinn says:

    Slayer will always be Slayer.And fuck it, if we can all mutually accept AC/DC’s fucking consistency, we should all be able to accept that Slayer maintains that same consistency, if for no other reason than the fact that AC/DC doesn’t have fans that will beat the fucking piss out of you if you acknowledge that “same ole sound” in public.Cheers for the new SSLLLLAAAAYYYYYYYEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. metal hoops says:

    all SLAYER rules

  25. Isisblack says:

    SSSSLLLLLLAAAAAAYYYYYYEEEEEEERRRR!!!!!!
    angry as a mother fucker yeah!

  26. JTL says:

    FYI: Slayer completely ruled tonight. That show was badfuckingass. I will be first in line for the new DVD.

  27. luke says:

    seriously,fuck all you moronic ppl who say “its the same old thing over and over”wtf?when a band chooses to change there sound they get shit put on them,they do the same fuking awsome stuff,and they get shit put on them…..wtf

  28. Anthony says:

    Fuck Slayer. Not because their songs sound the same, but because their songs sound the same and they’re shit. Overrated. I’ll take Load-era Metallica over anything Slayer’s done.

    Can’t quite say the same for St. Anger though…

  29. laurieannhauf says:

    baddsit singer besides ozzie is deo

  30. kaoshurrikane94 says:

    great fuckin song..first heard on SIRIUS radio..cant wait to see if Slayer can actually make the entire CD this good!..oh and btw Ken M, they said this record is supposed to be similar to Seasons if they could compare it, according to Araya..
